We are back in Tucson trying to recover from our colds. The flights home were fine and although we had to get up at 5am on Saturday, we were at home with our kittens, Luke and Jake, by two in the afternoon (with a two-hour time difference).

Charleston, SC
The six Thanksgiving Revelers meet again at 6:15 for the very short walk to High Cotton, another one of the recommended restaurants. This place is a little more decarous than the raucous atmosphere at Hank's. The food is almost stereotypically "southern," with lots of local soups and seafood. I enjoy a really excellent beef carpaccio, a very tender duck entree, and raspberry sorbet for dessert. Will has a large shrimp cocktail, local crab cakes, and one of his favorite desserts, "icky sticky pudding." We are all as stuffed as proverbial turkeys and wonder how we are going to eat Thanksgiving dinner at 12:30 in the afternoon tomorrow.
But I will keep you in suspense until tomorrow, when I resume our culinary adventures at Magnolia for Thanksgiving and Hyman's Famous Seafood on Friday.

At home in Tucson, AZ, since 2005, I live with my partner of over 47 years--and husband of six years--Will Feathers. I grew up in New York City (1947-67), earned my BA from CUNY in 1967 and my PhD in English from Indiana University/ Bloomington in 1974. I served on the full-time faculty of the English Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, from 1971 to 2004 (33 years), when I accepted an offer for early retirement. Last year (April 2022), we sold our house and moved into an Independent Living Senior Retirement Community in Tucson, where we have made many new friends.
